Summary: Another Good Novel by Avi
Review: This is one of the best books by Avi, I think. It really inspired me to read more of his books. If you think this is just another Edgar Allen Poe book, you're wrong. It's totally different and exciting. It shows a whole different face of the poet. Avi really captured him well in this book. The setting of the story also grew some suspense, which made the story a real page-turner. I recommend this book to all young adults to read it, just like I did.

Summary: CALLING ALL YOUNG ADULTS!
Review: I am nineteen now, but at the age of 11 I read this book and it was fabulous! It was a bit hard for me to understand at the time, but it was the first book I'd ever read cover-to-cover. I would recommend this book to any young adult! It is truly captivating!

Summary: JJF's book review
Review: The old saying is," never talk to strangers." It was not true in this case. If Edmund did not stay with poe he would have ..... Poe was a complete stranger. Edmund trusted a scary stranger and it was a good thing he did because he would have.... This ws a very interseting book and i would recomend it to anyone over the age of 12. It is the first book that I always wanted to keep on reading.

Summary: This is one that you must read!
Review: If you love a book that you can't put down, this is one to choose. To be honest, I cannot stand reading. So I know how alot of you people in middle school feel, because being in the 8th grade, it is not too often you find a person who likes to read. But this book I love. I have to admit it is one of the best books I have ever read in my life. It is a thriller!

Summary: A great book for people who like suspense!
Review: Edmund finally decided to go out for food after Aunty didn't come back for two days when she was looking for his mother. He locked Sis, his sister, in the room they rented so no one could come in. When he came back, Sis was gone. Full of despair, he went to a bar and met Mr. Dupin, a troubled drunk writer who thinks Edmund's problem would be a good story, and convinces him to help him. Mr. Dupin has a very good idea of what happened by paying attention to details that most people miss. It is a great mystery and historical fiction book. It is full of suspense so no one can put it down!

Summary: Interesting but confusing...
Review: Book Review for The Man Who Was Poe The Man Who Was Poe by Avi, takes place in Providence, Rhode Island in 1848.The main character in the book, Edmund, has a family who was taken away by a man named Mr. Rachet. Mr. Rachet is Edmund's stepfather. Edmund's stepfather has stolen money from Edmund's mother and now wants a divorce from her. In addition, Mr. Rachet wants to steal money from the Providence Bank, and use Edmund's sister to accomplish this plan. A man named Mr. Dupin, or Poe, helps Edmund try to figure out were his family is located. However, Edmund finds out that Dupin cares only about writing a story, and does not care about Edmund or his family. At the end of the book, Edmund has to take matters into his own hands to find his family. My favorite scene in the book is the sailboat chase which takes place towards the end of the book. I liked this scene because it was an exciting chase. I also liked this scene because Mr. Dupin and Edmund hijack a boat to chase Mr. Rachet. Although this book was interesting, I did not enjoy reading it because the plot was too confusing and often hard to follow. I would recommend this book to kids who like to read harder materials, and like mysteries. I give this book one star. -Submitted by Harley Courts, grade 8

Summary: AWESOME!!
Review: I think that this book was excellent. It was so suspenseful that I just couldn't help myself but to read on. But I do think that Avi should of written a better ending, so I give it 4 stars. I think that if you are going to buy any book, this should be the one.
